  2. Aeromagnetic survey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeromagnetic_survey

    The principle is similar to a magnetic survey carried out with a hand-held magnetometer, but allows much larger areas of the Earth's surface to be covered quickly for regional reconnaissance. The aircraft typically flies in a grid-like pattern with height and line spacing determining the resolution of the data (and cost of the survey per unit ...

  3. Magnetic survey (archaeology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_survey_(archaeology)

    Magnetic surveying is one of a number of methods used in archaeological geophysics. Magnetic surveys record spatial variation in the Earth's magnetic field. In archaeology, magnetic surveys are used to detect and map archaeological artefacts and features. Magnetic surveys are used in both terrestrial and marine archaeology.

  4. Magnetometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetometer

    Where targets are shallow (<200 m), aeromag anomalies may be followed up with ground magnetic surveys on 10 m to 50 m line spacing with 1 m station spacing to provide the best detail (2 to 10 m pixel grid) (or 25 times the resolution prior to drilling).

  5. Gradiometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradiometer

    The result coming from the device is the difference in magnetic flux at that point in space, in other words, the result is the difference between what each of the magnetometers detects. Biaxial gradiometer. This device consists of three magnetometers measuring the gradient of the magnetic field in two directions. Triaxial gradiometer. This ...

    [9] 3-D MT survey results in Uzbekistan (32 x 32 grid of soundings) have guided further seismic mapping of a large known gas-bearing formation with complex subsurface geology. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) and Nord-West Ltd use onshore MT more than any other oil company in the world, conducting thousands of MT ...

  7. Project Magnet (USN) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Magnet_(USN)

    The early aeromagnetic surveys included a search for the north magnetic pole on 2 September 1960 by the project's P2V which flew triangular search patterns at 11,000 ft (3,352.8 m). [20] On 23 October 1960 the aircraft flew the same triangular patterns at 13,000 ft (3,962.4 m) in a search for the south magnetic pole. [ 21 ]

  8. Geophysical survey (archaeology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geophysical_survey...

    A magnetic survey at Pembroke Castle carried out by Dyfed Archaeological Trust. [ 8 ] The use of geophysical surveys is well established in European archaeology, especially in Great Britain, where it was pioneered in the 1940s and 1950s.

  9. World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Digital_Magnetic...

    The World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map (WDMAM) was first made available by the Commission for the Geological Map of the World in 2007. Compiled with data from governments and institutes, [1] the project was coordinated by the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy, and was presented by Mike Purucker of NASA and Colin Reeves of the Netherlands.
